It is August. Earlier this summer I researched Lifelong learning as part of the MN Volunteers Certificate for Librarians. Libraries are the hub, the place to find information, and we have that challenge to fill for the public everyday. A child with a catapillar said "can we look up on the internet and find what kind of butterfly this would be?"
That happens all the time. August seems to be the month with the most genealogy questions. For insects and for people!
We use a resource on the internet: ancestry.com, and find it a valuable tool. There is so much to learn.

Thing # 23 Final Thoughts
"My opinion and I do have one" ( a quote from Ellen) is that this is a valuable experience. The library staff worked together on using Flickr, Facebook, Ning, Puzzlepirates, and blogging. It was a lot of fun to do!

Thing # 22 Ways to keep learning.
Each thing has so many links to browse. I resolve to follow more links, as distracting as they seem. I will be reading 23 things ona stick discussions. ( I have a post on Friends of the Library) I will be continuing with the MN Vol.Cert.Program and comparing books read on ReadingLounge.com; I will be looking at these and other things weekly if not daily. And I will watch for interesting classes or webinars in Webjunction. I like to keep up with what's new!

Thing # 21 Beyond myspace: other social networks
Ning, a social network with a group for us! I like this one with more librarians doing the same thing as me. I joined ning, and that was a riot! Read about Gather and webjunction. Will look back and reflect on this next week.
Thing # 18 with my Home video
Wilson is one fast puppy! This is what we see every morning after his 'let out' time.
